Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do these compare to other professional keeper pads?
A: The TC 1260 pads feature comparable protection to other professional models with their triple-layer foam construction, though they're slightly lighter than traditional keeper pads while maintaining professional-grade protection.
Q: Are these suitable for both spin and pace bowling?
A: Yes, these pads are designed for all-round wicket keeping. The multi-density foam construction provides excellent protection against pace bowling, while the flexible 4-bar design allows mobility needed when standing up to spinners.
Q: How do I maintain these pads for maximum longevity?
A: Clean with a damp cloth after use, avoid direct sunlight when drying, and store in a well-ventilated area. The PU construction is more water-resistant than traditional materials but still requires proper care to prevent deterioration.
Q: How do I determine the right size for me?
A: Measure from the middle of your knee cap to the top of your ankle bone. The TC 1260 pads should extend approximately 4 inches above your knee when standing. Most adult keepers will find the standard size suitable, but New Balance offers sizing guides for precise measurement.
